Kamehameha Schools has formed a safe harbor agreement with the state to help conserve nearly 33,000 acres on Hawaii Island.
The state Board of Land and Natural Resources approved the 50-year deal Friday, which it said will assist the recovery of threatened or endangered species on the land, mostly mauka of Volcano.
The agreement sets baselines for native species and will help determine land-use practices to maintain critical habitat. It covers seven native birds, the Hawaiian hoary bat and 25 plant species.
Namaka Whitehead, Kamehameha Schools ecologist, said it’s the first time the school has entered such an agreement on its lands.
Commitments being made include planting more than 20,000 plants every five years, planting 1,000 acres of new koa forest on former pasture lands, maintaining firefighting infrastructure and phasing out barbed wire that can harm bats on acreage still used for ranching, she said.
Whitehead said it will meet Kamehameha Schools’ goal of promoting functioning native ecosystems that are “the foundation of Hawaii cultural identity and well-being.”
“The safe harbor agreement is an example of the kind of work that helps us to lead our mission,” she said.
Whitehead said the land is adjacent to the Puu Makaala Natural Area Reserve, where the state is attempting to reintroduce ‘alala, the Hawaiian crow. She said the hope is the Kamehameha Schools property also could be used as their habitat.
Much of the property has been fenced and it is thought to be ungulate-free, Whitehead said.
The agreement is a cooperative effort between Kamehameha Schools, the Department of Land and Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

    Amelia Gora KSBE defaulted and failed to respond to Legal Notice posted in March 2017 and are Not the land owners, alodio owners....Bernice Pauahi Bishop was only One of the Kamehameha's and to top that off she was using OPIUM making her under stress, duress, usurpation, coercion by haole/aliens surrounding her. The lands are simply NOT theirs, and belongs to Kamehameha's heirs and successors. Bernice Pauahi Bishop had siblings/stepsiblings because her father Abner Paki married Kaikainalii his brother's widow in 1838 shortly after his brother Kalaniulumoku died. All the Trustees needs to be arrested on charges of piracy, pillaging, criminal racketeering! ramifications are ongoing. Our families are also the descendant of Opunui, Pauahi's hanai/adopted son ... Bernice Pauahi was married to others and so was her husband Bihopa/ Charles Reed Bishop ....conspiracies to defraud our Royal Families, etc. also claiming properties that they are Not entitled to...bunch of Pirates.... All Kamehameha Families please contact hawaiianhistory@gmail.com p.s. what does it mean when they have defaulted legal notices from the Royal Families? It means that they own nothing and are trespassing and squatting on our Royal Families lands.http://maoliworld.com/.../abner-paki-s-inquiries-not-for... am also one of Queen Liliuokalani's trustee descendants, the trust created in 1872.......Maka Ala you Sleeping Giants, empower yourselves with knowledge, information because those trustees are Not related to our Royal Families....interest is maintained for Queen Liliuokalani who also had an interest in the estates of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, Charles Kanaina, King Lunalilo, and Queen Kalama...... the Bishop Estates were the ones who sold land to the U.S. in the early 1900's and they are NOT the alodio owners and can NEVER own alodio lands!

      Summary
        I, Amelia Gora, am one of the descendants of 13 of Kamehameha's children, stepchildren, and hanai/adopted children.
      I, Amelia Gora, am one of the descendants of Kalaniulumoku through his daughter Kalola (w) the next of kin in Probate to Bernice Pauahi who married Charles Reed Bishop.
      Kalola (w) and her husband S. Luluhiwalani had son Alapai Kahekili and hanai Abigaila Kapooloku/Princess Poomaikelani.  Alapai Kahekili married Kahananui and had Ioela.  Abigaila Kapooloku/Princess Poomaikelani married several, including Ioela and had Haili/ Kaili/Kalama who married Kaluakini and had Elikapeka (siblings) who married Joseph and had John (siblings) who married Mary Castro and had Amelia Gora (and 6 siblings).
      I, Amelia Gora, am one of the descendants of Kaaumoana aka's the true Trustee of Queen Liliuokalani.  (see previous legal notices).
      As one of the heirs of Abner Paki, I maintain that I am one of the alodio land owners along with many documented others.
      Trustees are Not the heirs and therefore I, and others are the alodio landowners of Abner Paki's interests.
      Abner Paki's lands includes Waialae Iki lands totaling 1,608.20 acres and listed as:
      LCA 10613                 RP8188 with 217.20 acres
      LCA  10613                RP3578 with 1,391.00 acres
      The Trustees of Bernice Pauahi Bishop have been legally dispossessed according to the 1849/1850 Treaty of the Kingdom of Hawaii and the United States of America, Article XIV.
      Lastly, the Tilden Trust Case from the U.S. Supreme Court declared that Trustees are Not the Land Owners of a Trust created.
      The Royal Families exists as documented through more than 27 years of genealogy research; 40+ years of history - oral and research; and 15+ years of legal research.
      This is intended as a Legal Notice for all to see, read, share the info, know that our families have returned to our family properties, etc. and to encourage others to step forward and reclaim our tutu's aina/ancestral lands with proof/ evidence, researched documentation.
      aloha.
